  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. An example of this is when we send you updated information about a service you have had from us in the past that we feel you may be interested in. 

Change of purpose 

We will only use your personal information for the purposes we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason. That reason is compatible with the original purpose.  

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

Where we are processing your information based on contractual necessity or legal and regulatory requirements, the provision and processing of such information will likely be mandatory. In addition, where the provision of your Personal Information is generally a contractual or legal requirement or is a requirement for us to enter into a contract if you choose not to provide any Personal Information or to exercise one or more of the rights above to restrict the processing of your information, this may limit the services which EYECAN can provide.

If this is to happen, we will inform you as soon as possible.

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to collect, process and transfer your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.  

To withdraw your consent, contact our DPO at info@eyecan.je  

Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. 

Changes to this Privacy Notice 

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. 

We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about processing your personal information or requesting you to confirm the accuracy of the information we hold on you.
